Anchored in Faith

A river flows within the stream

Where Jesus walked, or so I dreamed

And in the water's drowning hold

Teardrops fall and sorrow unfolds

But in this moment of despair

We know that someone's always there

Perhaps it's a fairytale belief

Or maybe just a simple relief

God may exist inside our mind

But we must stand and truly find

That He is present all around

And we are never alone, we're found

With love and kindness in our hearts

We treat each other like kin and parts

Of one blessed family we belong

Where we teach, set an example, strong

I've walked where Jesus may have trod

Without superhuman power or God

But knowing secrets can be shown

And ashes of shame can be overthrown

For in life, I've been broken and lost

Family shunned, my choices the cost

Depression seeping into my mind

Yet miracles happen, hope we find

With anchors to hold onto tight

There is no fear, no need for fright

In faith, we believe and receive

Blessings unexpected, the pain to relieve

Anchored in faith, we'll never drown

Even in the darkest times, we're found

With a prayer and a plea

Our depression fades, from our hearts set free
